6 bedroom detached house

Situated on one of the most sought-after residential roads Between the Commons is this magnificent detached Victorian house. This superb family home is situated on a South-West facing corner plot and is arranged over four floors. It offers approximately 3667 square feet of accommodation having been imaginatively extended to the side and rear. The entire house is beautifully presented and benefits from a lovely sense of light and space throughout, with dual aspect in the majority of the rooms.

The property is entered via a porch to a spacious entrance hall. There is a well-sized dining room to the left, benefitting from a large bay window and working feature fireplace. A grand double reception room is located on the right of the ground floor and stretches to the rear of the property measuring an incredible 42 feet in length, with original wood floorboards. The reception room can be partitioned into two rooms according to use, with the front of the room currently set up as a drawing room and the rear as a family room. The drawing room boasts a large square bay window with window seat, and a stunning original marble fireplace with working gas fire as well as double doors out to the garden. The family room has an expansive bay window overlooking the garden and French doors out to the rear terrace. To the rear a door leads into an impressive open plan kitchen breakfast room with underfloor heating.
The kitchen itself is bespoke, built by Palmer Joinery, and has been fitted with high quality units, integrated appliances and Cumbrian slate worksurfaces with a large circular central island/breakfast bar. It contains an abundance of built in storage, offering clever organising solutions. There is plenty of space for a dining table as well as every day family living and entertaining. A downstairs cloakroom and well sized boot room with integrated storage and a side entrance from the front garden completes the ground floor level.

Another big draw to this spectacular property is the spacious garden which is bigger than many of the gardens of surrounding houses due to the prominent corner position that the house occupies. The garden features two large brick terraces, a large lawned area as well as a garage and garden room (with access to the street). Planning permission has been obtained for the creation of an off-street parking space.

A study/home office is located on the half-landing between the ground and first floors. A generous master suite is positioned on the first floor to the front of the house. Entered via a walk-through dressing room the suite contains a spacious master bedroom and luxurious en suite bathroom with twin sinks, a standalone bath and walk in shower that doubles as a steam room.

Two further double bedrooms, the larger with a balcony, and a family shower room are also located on the first floor. Arranged over the upper level are three additional double bedrooms, a further family bathroom and storeroom.
The lower ground floor comprises a wine cellar, boiler room and additional storage space offering potential for further extension, subject to the usual planning consents. The house further boasts an abundance of well-considered integrated storage offering useful spaces on every level.

Old Park Avenue runs between Nightingale Lane and Ramsden Road and is considered one of the most sought-after roads within the area, known locally as ‘Between the Commons’. The amenities of Northcote Road, Bellevue Road and Balham High Road are all within easy walking distance as are the open spaces of Clapham and Wandsworth Commons. Transport can be found nearby at Clapham South underground and Wandsworth Common overground stations and there are a number of good schools nearby (subject to catchment each year).
